Be Happy

I. CONTEMPLATION Happy? Say... Be Happy! Be Happy with all you may! Forget the past, it's done at last, Be Happy for today! The sweetest proposition... Begins with state of mind. Far better to be Happy... A choice of being kind! Thinking of tomorrow? For it shall come your way... Forgetting deeds, now sowing seeds... with Joy along the way! Cares may be like raindrops... falling on the ground. Raindrops bringing flowers... Blooming fragrance all around. Happy? Say... Be Happy! Time beats on it's way... The day will pass, it may not last, Be Happy for today! Happy just to be content, Fulfillment of a dream... Seeking out one's pleasures... No appointments for a scheme! To be Happy...Say... Be Happy! There's treasure to be found. To be secure and to endure... Life's beauty all around. Happy for Possession? Obtain it all you can. All for me, and you may see... Another different man! Be Happy for one's appetite, Be Happy at the very site... And just to eat... A life so sweet, Be Happy for today! II. CONTRADICTION Contradiction speaks of all the leaks, The highs and lows, and so it goes... The ups and downs, and all arounds... Happy now... at last? The time it passes, birds still sing... And all the church bells, they do ring... But after all, Yes, all of this... Be Happy now, for life is bliss.. Be Happy? Attraction of the opposites, He's soft he's hard, And he's a bard! And there is lard, and more of lard... Be Happy? He's so hot, then he is cold, So I am told! He's freezing cold... but he is bold! He's Happy...being cold? Go fast, go slow... Then stop, now go! Be Happy... I am told! Contradiction speaks of all the leaks... And in time, you're getting old! Be Happy...still? Be Happy? III. THE CHOICE Dissonance or harmony... Which would you choose? The former or the later.... now, before you lose! Confutatis, Malidictis! It shall come with all the rage, and disappointment still, of being on the run! Happy, as a choice could be... An attitude, perhaps! The attitude of gratitude, The Joy...of being glad! Being glad for all you had.. All better now than being sad! Be Happy... You say? And what about "The Self?" To lose oneself in other things.. To be myself is not myself! When I am all about... Wrapped up in things beside myself.... That's it!! So I'll be on my way! April 22, 2014 Robert E. O'Brien
